Integrated oral health and primary care services holds substantial potential to reduce oral disease burden and improve overall health among a general population. This descriptive cross-sectional study describes the oral health and views of patients receiving integrated oral health in a general primary care setting serving a rural, underserved Hispanic majority. The purpose was to (1) describe the prevalence of oral disease and risk factors among patients who received integrated oral health in a rural, multicultural primary care clinic in New Mexico, and (2) describe patient views about receiving oral health screening and management in a primary care setting. Health care providers’ assessment revealed a high prevalence of oral disease, primarily dental caries, gingivitis and heavy plaque formation, as well as, use of appliances. In addition, factors resulting in interference with oral care were assessed such as: cognitive or physical disabilities, mental health challenges, tobacco or substance use. Patient self-reported views were very positive indicating that the vast majority of patients gained a greater appreciation for the importance of oral health to their overall health, were satisfied with services and would return to the same setting for care.

Background: In orthodontic treatment there is always a need to improve efficacy and efficiency of appliances. Improvement of the orthodontic appliances would improve the general dental treatment, thus changing the standards of the oral health. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the traditional wire bending in fixed orthodontic appliances with the robotic made wire. Also, to check if robot wire bending is superior and has better results than traditional wire bending. Materials and Methods: All articles published from 2010 to present day were included in the study,as the robotic made wire came in use at this time. Databases including MEDLINE via Ovid, Web of science, Embase, Cochrane Library and LILACS were used as the main sources of our data. Results: In this study 7 papers were found to fit our inclusion criteria. It was found that the use of a robot to bend an archwire in the process of making a fixed appliance increases the treatment accuracy, efficacy and efficiency. Also, it decreases the treatment time and patient discomfort thus improving the orthodontic treatment in general. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatments which use a robot or machine to twist archwires utilized in fixed orthodontics apparatus will have a greatly improved forecast with remarkably shorter treatment time in comparison to the traditional approaches.
背景:在正畸治疗中，一直需要提高矫治器的疗效和效率。正畸矫治器的改进将提高口腔整体治疗水平，从而改变口腔健康水平。目的:本研究的目的是比较传统的金属丝弯曲固定正畸矫治器和机器人制造的金属丝。同时检查机器人弯丝是否优于传统的弯丝效果。材料和方法:2010年至今发表的所有文章都被纳入研究，因为机器人制造的电线是在这个时候开始使用的。主要数据来源为MEDLINE via Ovid、Web of science、Embase、Cochrane Library和LILACS等数据库。结果:本研究有7篇论文符合我们的纳入标准。研究发现，在制作固定器具的过程中，利用机器人对弓丝进行弯曲，可以提高治疗的精度、疗效和效率。减少了治疗时间和患者的不适，从而提高了正畸治疗的总体水平。结论:采用机器人或机器扭转固定正畸器械弓丝的正畸治疗方法，与传统方法相比，治疗时间明显缩短，治疗效果明显提高。
